AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1 - The Company Transmedia Asia Pacific, Inc. ("TMAP" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in March 1994. On May 2, 1994 the Company acquired, from Conestoga Partners II, Inc. ("Conestoga"), the rights Conestoga had previously acquired from Transmedia Network, Inc. ("Network"). The rights acquired, pursuant to a Master License Agreement ("License Agreement") dated March 21, 1994, were an exclusive license ("License") to use certain trademarks and service marks, proprietary computer software programs and know-how of Network to establish and operate a discount restaurant charge card business in substantially all countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim including Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines and India (the "Licensed Territories"). The Company has worked closely with its affiliate Transmedia Europe, Inc. ("TME") since inception. TME is a company which acquired a similar license to that of the Company to operate a discount restaurant charge card business in Europe, Turkey and the other countries outside of Europe which were formerly part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Company and TME have the same directors and officers. Edward J. Guinan III is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and TME, as well as a principal shareholder in each. Through 1996 the Company operated a discount restaurant charge card business in Australia through its wholly owned subsidiary Transmedia Australia Pty Limited. In late 1996 management identified the need to expand the Company's operations to become a broader based "member benefits" provider, believing that the Company needed a range of benefits to offer its corporate clients and individual members, in addition to discount dining. Such benefits included discount shopping, travel, hotel accommodation and telephone helpline services. At the same time TME made a similar strategic decision and as a result the Company and TME decided to work together in expanding their business operations. In April 1997 the Company and TME jointly acquired Countdown Holdings Limited ("Countdown"), an international provider of membership based discount shopping services. In December 1997 Transmedia Australia Holdings Pty Limited ("Transmedia Australia"), a company owned jointly by the Company and TME, purchased 51% of the shares of common stock of NHS Australia Pty Limited ("NHS"). NHS purchased the net assets and business operations of Nationwide Helpline Services Pty Limited ("Nationwide"). NHS is a provider of telephone helpline services covering advice on legal, tax, accounting, medical and home emergency. In addition NHS offers travel related products such as airline tickets, vacation packages, insurance and provides international medical case management and repatriation services to a number of insurance companies. On May 14, 1998 the Company and TME jointly acquired Porkpine Limited, a business trading as Logan Leisure, which produces and sells discount shopping and services directories. On May 22, 1998 Transmedia Australia Travel Holdings Pty Limited ("Transmedia Travel"), a company owned jointly by the Company and TME acquired Breakaway Travel Club Pty Limited ("Breakaway"). Breakaway, which is based in Sydney, Australia, is a licensed travel agent specializing in discount packaged vacations for individuals employed in the travel industry in Australia. In July 1998 the Company and TME jointly incorporated Countdown America, Inc. ("Countdown America") to establish a member benefits business in the United States and on November 17, 1998, Transmedia Australia acquired the balance of 49% of the shares of common stock of NHS. In November, 1998, Countdown launched an internet shopping program, Countdown Arcade. Finally, in June 1999, the Company and TME jointly acquired DSS Direct Connect, L.L.C. ("DBS Direct") a US company having the right, on a preferred basis, to provide localized turn-key sales and installation services for DirecTV and USSB, a leading provider of digital "direct-to-the-home" multi-channel video programming services. 7 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1 - The Company (continued) In light of the close collaboration between the Company and TME since incorporation and, more particularly, in view of the joint ownership of Countdown, NHS, DBS Direct, Countdown America, Logan Leisure and Breakaway Travel, management of the Company and TME have announced their intention to pursue a merger of the two companies. The proposed merger is subject to approval by the respective boards of directors, fairness opinions by independent investment advisers and the approval of shareholders of both companies. The Company commenced business operations in Sydney, Australia in November 1994. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had the following equity interests in its direct subsidiaries and affiliates: Name Country of Incorporation % Owned - ---- ------------------------ ------- Transmedia Australia Pty Ltd Australia 100 Transmedia Australasia Pty Ltd New Zealand 100 Transmedia Australia Holdings Pty Ltd Australia 50 Transmedia Australia Travel Holdings Pty Ltd Australia 50 Countdown Holdings Limited UK 50 Porkpine Limited Channel Islands 50 Countdown America, Inc. United States 50 DSS Direct Connect, L.L.C. United States 50 All references herein to "Company" and "TMAP" include Transmedia Asia Pacific, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. Note 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1999, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the changes in cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The September 30, 1998 balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 8 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 2. Basis of Presentation (continued) Effective control over Transmedia Australia and Transmedia Travel is exercised by the Company and accordingly Transmedia Australia's accounts are consolidated in the accounts of the Company. Although the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Porkpine, TME has effective control over the operations of those businesses. Accordingly, the operations of Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Porkpine are accounted for under the equity method in the financial statements of the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern may depend on its ability to obtain outside financing sufficient to support its operations. Management believes, based upon the Company's history of obtaining necessary financing, that sufficient funds will be available to the Company to enable it to operate for the foreseeable future. However there can be no assurance given that the Company will obtain such short-term or long-term outside financing. Note 3. Foreign Currencies The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currencies of the Company's operating subsidiaries and affiliates are the Australian dollar, UK pound sterling, Irish punt and the United States dollar. For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Consolidated statements of income for the Company's subsidiaries are translated at the average rates of exchange during the period. Exchange differences arising on these translations are taken directly to stockholders' equity. The average exchange rates during the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the exchange rates in effect at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 were as follows: UK Pound Australian Irish Sterling ((pound)) Dollar Punt ------------------ ------ ---- Average exchange rates - ---------------------- 3 months ended June 30, 1999 1.6067 0.6539 1.3415 3 months ended June 30, 1998 1.6542 0.7697 1.5257 6 months ended June 30, 1999 1.6455 0.6374 1.4213 6 months ended June 30, 1998 1.6347 0.7810 1.5884 Closing exchange rate - --------------------- June 30, 1999 1.5763 0.6611 1.4903 September 30, 1998 1.6125 0.7251 1.4545 9 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 4. Income Taxes The Company adopts Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which recognizes (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and (b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an enterprise's financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized Note 5. New Accounting Standards Effective quarter ended March 31, 1998 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires that all prior period earnings per share data be restated to conform to this standard. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on the Company's restated historic earnings per share In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two new disclosure standards, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has also adopted SFAS No. 131 which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," and establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Both of these standards require comparative information to be restated. Results of operations and financial position are unaffected by implementation of these new standards. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132), which revises employers' disclosures about pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. SFAS 132 is effective for financial statements for the periods beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated. This standard does not apply currently to the Company. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes standards for accounting for the various derivative instruments commonly used in hedging activities. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. 10 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 6. Revenue Recognition Revenues comprise: (i) the retail value of food and beverage purchased from participating restaurants by the Company's Transmedia cardholders (less the cardholders' 20% or 25% discount) and the cardholders' membership fees, (ii) NHS membership fees paid by sponsoring corporations, and (iii) Travel agency commissions earned by the Teletravel division of NHS and Breakaway Travel Club Pty Limited. Transmedia card membership fees are recognized as revenue in equal monthly installments over the membership period. NHS membership fees paid by sponsoring corporations for the provision of "helpline services", are recognized as revenue when received. Note 7. License Costs The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in License Costs for impairment based on estimated future net cash flows generated by, and directly attributable to, the Transmedia License. If the estimated future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the license costs, it is the policy of the Company to recognize the impairment and adjust the carrying value of the License Costs to their estimated fair value. In the opinion of management, there has been no permanent impairment of the License Costs as of June 30, 1999. Note 8. Restaurant Credits Restaurant credits represent the total advances made to participating restaurants less the amount recouped by the Company as a result of Company cardholders using their cards at participating restaurants. Restaurant credits are recouped by the Company within one year of advance and accordingly are classified as a current asset. The amount by which such credits are recouped equates to approximately 50% of the retail value of the food and beverage purchased by cardholders at participating restaurants. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of restaurant credits and establishes an appropriate provision against irrecoverable restaurant credits. The funds advanced to participating restaurants are generally unsecured. 11 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC.

Goodwill arising on acquisitions is amortized on a straight line basis usually over a period of fifteen years. 13 TRANSMEDIA ASIA PACIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 12. Notes Payable On April 29, 1998 the Company engaged in a private placement of debt securities. The Placement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The placement consisted of three 250,000 pounds sterling (approximately $413,000) face amount, 8% promissory notes payable on November 1, 1998 and one 200,000 pounds sterling (approximately $330,000) face amount, 8% promissory note payable on the same date. The holders of the 250,000 pounds sterling promissory notes each received a three and a half year warrant to purchase 41,660 shares of the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and the holder of the 200,000 pounds sterling promissory note received a warrant to purchase 33,328 shares on the same terms. The warrants are exercisable at any time after issuance through November 1, 2001. The Company failed to pay the promissory notes on the due date and accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes, the holders each received additional warrants for the same number of shares and exercisable on the same terms as the original warrants. As of the date hereof the Company has repaid the three 250,000 pounds sterling promissory notes in full, together with accrued interest. In addition, the holder of the 200,000 pounds sterling promissory note has been paid approximately $41,700 in part repayment and has agreed to give the Company additional time to repay the balance of the note together with accrued interest. The Company granted such note holder a conversion privilege to convert the balance of the note, together with accrued interest, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.75 per share. During the course of negotiations with the note holders, the Company granted two of the 250,000 pounds sterling note holders an additional warrant each to purchase 41,660 shares of common stock and agreed to adjust the exercise price of all warrants issued to all note holders from $2.00 to $1.00. On November 17, 1998 the Company entered into a One Year Secured Promissory Note ("Note") in the principal sum of $3.4 million executed with FAI General Insurance, a shareholder of the Company and TME. Interest on the Note accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears. The Note is secured by a charge over Transmedia Australia and is guaranteed by TME. The Note is repayable on November 16, 1999. The Note holder received a three-year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 14. Acquisitions On December 2, 1997, Transmedia Australia, purchased 51% of the common stock of NHS. NHS purchased the net assets and business of Nationwide. Nationwide was an Australian provider of telephone helpline services and other member benefit programs. The Company exercises effective control over Transmedia Australia and accordingly Transmedia Australia's accounts are consolidated in the accounts of the Company. The total consideration paid by Transmedia Australia for its 51% interest in the equity capital of NHS was Aus$6,000,000 (approximately $4,290,000 as of December 2, 1997). Transmedia Australia also agreed to purchase the balance of the equity capital of NHS for Aus$2,500,000 on June 30, 1998 with the right to extend such obligation ("Balance Obligation") until September 30, 1998 by paying interest at 5% per annum. Transmedia Australia exercised the extension right. In addition the Company and TME agreed to pay Aus$4,000,000 in sign-on fees to the two former executive directors of Nationwide. On October 21, 1998 Transmedia Australia reached agreement to reduce the sign-on fees by Aus$1,000,000. On November 17, 1998 Transmedia Australia acquired the remaining 49% and settled the Balance Obligation. The Company and TME also paid the balance of the reduced sign-on fees on that date. The total revised sign-on fees of Aus$3,000,000 (approximately $1,940,000) were charged in full as compensation expense in the income statements of the Company and TME for the year ended September 30, 1998. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess purchase price attributable to goodwill was $3,905,384. On June 15, 1999 the Company and TME jointly acquired DBS Direct. DBS Direct is a US corporation with the right, on a preferred basis, to provide localized turn-key sales and installation services for DirecTV and USSB, a leading provider of digital "direct-to-the-home" multi-channel video programming services. The consideration paid by the Company for its 50% interest in DBS Direct comprised 4,589,732 shares of the common stock of the Company plus $500,000 in cash. TME paid a consideration of 4,831,057 shares of its common stock and $500,000 in cash for the remaining 50% of DBS Direct.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, those described below and those presented elsewhere by management from time to time. When used in this Quarterly Report, statements that are not statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "anticipate", "plan," "intend," "believe", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. General The business of the Company is the design and supply of a range of member benefit programs to corporations, affinity groups and individuals on an international scale. In 1996 the Company and TME decided to work closely to implement a strategy to create a broader based international member benefits business. As a result the Company currently has established business operations in Australia and New Zealand and through its affiliates, Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Logan Leisure, has an interest in business operations in Europe and elsewhere. In addition, in November 1998 Countdown launched its transactional web site business, Countdown Arcade. The future success of the Company is primarily dependent upon its ability to develop and expand its current business operations by increasing their membership base, broadening the range of member benefit programs offered and migrating its products to the internet. Management continues to actively recruit senior executives to strengthen the management team to facilitate such development and expansion. The Company will continue to look for new opportunities within the member benefits industry and may expand its operations through further acquisitions. Management believes that the international member benefits market is significantly less developed than in the United States, providing an opportunity for the Company to expand its operations from its established base in Australasia and through its affiliates in Europe and the United States. Results of Operations Three Months ended June 30, 1999 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 1998 The Company generated revenues of $995,143 (1998: $1,539,076) in the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $543,933 or 35.3% over the corresponding period in 1998. NHS generated revenues of $593,700 (1998: $1,159,398) and Breakaway generated revenues of $249,835 (1998: $103,199 from May 22 the date of acquisition to June 30, 1998). The decrease in NHS revenues is due to a number of corporate clients not renewing their help-line service contracts when they expired. Management has taken steps to improve sales and marketing in this division and is actively pursuing potential clients to replace lost accounts. The restaurant charge card business recorded a decline in revenues of $124,871 to $151,608 due to lower card usage by cardholders and a reduction in the participating restaurant base. 19 Cost of sales totaled $223,907 (1998: $208,555) for the three months ended June 30, 1999, generating a gross profit percentage of 77.5% (1998: 86.4%). The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the impact of the revenue decline in the high margin NHS business, which was only partially offset by the impact of Breakaway Travel which generates a gross profit of 100% on its travel commission revenues. NHS achieved a gross profit of 76.6% (1998: 94.9%) and the restaurant card business 43.8% (1998: 46.1%). Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,477,377 (1998: $1,792,493) for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $315,116 or 17.6% over the corresponding period in 1998. Adjusting such decrease for the impact of Breakaway ($211,964) which was acquired in May 1998, the Company recorded a year on year decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in pre-existing operations of $527,080. Selling, general and administrative expenses of NHS decreased by $324,218 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. NHS recorded expense decreases in a majority of cost categories, most significantly in payroll and communication costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the restaurant card business were marginally ahead of 1998 levels and head office costs showed a net decrease of $228,229 over prior year levels. The net decrease in head office selling, general and administrative expenses comprised increases in depreciation and amortization charges $15,558, payroll costs $151,828 and professional fees $116,226 which were offset by the impact of office relocation expenses of $468,184 incurred in 1998. The Company's share of profits/(losses) of its affiliates Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Logan Leisure were $56,529, $(10,000), $(30,095) and $(3,425) respectively for the three months ended June 30, 1999 (1998: $(169,414), nil, nil and $1,986). Minority interests comprise TME's 50% interest in Transmedia Australia and Transmedia Travel. Nine Months ended June 30, 1999 compared to Nine Months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues totaled $3,030,012 (1998: $3,291,867) for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $261,855 or 7.9% as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. NHS recorded a decrease in revenues of $404,990 (excluding the affect of only being consolidated for 7 months in the corresponding period in fiscal 1998) which was offset by the impact of Breakaway. Breakaway revenues were $571,808 higher in the nine months to June 30, 1999 because Breakaway was consolidated for only 8 days in the corresponding period in fiscal 1998. The restaurant charge card business recorded a decline in revenues of $428,673 to $612,349 due to lower card usage by cardholders and a reduction in the participating restaurant base. Cost of sales totaled $635,196 (1998: $786,913) for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 resulting in a gross profit percentage of 79.0% (1998: 76.1%). The increase in gross profit percentage reflects the impact of the 100% gross margin of Breakaway. The gross profit percentage achieved in the period by NHS was 81.7% as compared to 48.3% in the restaurant card business. In the corresponding period in 1998 NHS achieved a gross profit percentage of 90.9% and the restaurant card business 43.2%. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,537,570 (1998: $5,593,490) for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $1,080,783 or 19.3% over the corresponding period in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 included $1,258,089 in respect of sign-on fees paid to the former executive directors of NHS. Excluding the impact of such sign-on fees and Breakaway which was acquired on May 22, 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $572,488 in the nine months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. NHS, despite being consolidated for only 7 months in fiscal 1998, recorded a decrease in selling, general and administrative of $100,048 primarily in the areas of communication costs, property costs and professional fees. The restaurant card business recorded cost reductions totaling $131,561 across all expense categories. Head office selling, general and administrative expenses were $340,879 lower than in fiscal 1998 excluding the impact of the sign-on fees referred to above. Such decrease primarily comprised office relocation costs $180,562, restaurant card royalty costs $42,777 and property costs $27,815. 20 The Company's share of profits/(losses) of its affiliates Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Logan Leisure were $108,576, $(10,000), $(115,253) and $35,378 respectively for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 (1998: $(163,436), nil, nil and $1,986). Minority interests comprise TME's 50% interest in Transmedia Australia and Transmedia Travel. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following chart represents the net funds provided by or used in operating, financing and investment activities for each period as indicated: Nine Months Ended ----------------- June 30, 1999 June 30, 1998 Cash (used in)/provided by Operating Activities $(5,095,394) $(3,309,012) Cash used in Investing activities $(1,837,551) $(2,476,398) Cash provided by financing Activities $6,393,070 $6,360,740 The Company incurred a net loss of $2,278,140 in the nine months ended June 30, 1999, which when adjusted for non-cash items resulted in funds used in operating activities totaling $5,095,394, net of working capital movements. Non-cash items comprised depreciation and amortization charges $479,791, the Company's share of profits of affiliates of $18,701, provision against irrecoverable restaurant credits $15,298 and a release of provision for bad debts of $8,286. Net cash used in investing activities of $1,837,551 comprised the cash elements of the Company's investment in Transmedia Australia to complete the acquisition of NHS ($1,233,451), the Company's investment of $50,542 in its affiliates Countdown America ($24,967) and Porkpine ($25,575) and the cash element of its investment in DBS Direct. In addition, the Company invested $33,962 in fixed assets in the nine months ended June 30, 1999. In the corresponding period in 1998 net cash used in investing activities comprised the cash element of the Company's investment in Transmedia Australia to acquire NHS ($1,678,688), the cash element of its investment in Porkpine ($570,547), its acquisition of Breakaway ($83,748) and $143,415 invested in fixed assets. To meet its cash requirements during the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company sold in aggregate 4,542,666 shares of its common stock in equity private placements, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $3,757,000. In addition, in November 1998 the Company raised $3.4 million through the issuance of a One-Year Secured Promissory Note (see Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements). During the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and prior periods the Company has relied on the net proceeds of equity placements and short-term debt financing to fund its operating needs and investments. Management has taken steps to reduce the amount of cash used by operations, however the Company's operations may not provide sufficient internally generated cash flows to meet its projected requirements in the short-term. Accordingly, the Company will require further capital infusions in order to meet its loan repayment commitments and the ongoing funding requirements of its operations. Based upon the Company's history of obtaining necessary financing, management believes that sufficient funds will be available for the Company to operate in the foreseeable future and meet its loan repayment obligations. However there can be no assurance given that the Company will be able to obtain such funding. 21 Historically, the Company's ability to grow and generate cash from operations has been restricted by the single product offered, the Transmedia dining card. However, in recent years the Company and TME have worked closely to implement a strategy to create a broader based international member benefits business and to migrate such business interests to the internet where appropriate. As a result, the Company currently has established business operations in Australia and New Zealand and through its affiliates, Countdown, DBS Direct, Countdown America and Logan Leisure, has an interest in business operations in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The Company and TME have recently acquired DBS Direct and established business operations in the United States. Additionally, in November 1998 Countdown launched its transactional web site business, Countdown Arcade. Management believes that after completion of the proposed merger with TME, the Company and TME will be well positioned to achieve profitability in the medium term. However, there can be no assurance given that the proposed merger will be completed or when, if at all, profitability will be achieved. Inflation and Seasonality The Company does not believe that its operations have been materially influenced by inflation in the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, a situation which is expected to continue for foreseeable future. The business of Breakaway is to some extent seasonal. However, the Company has no basis at this time on which to project the effects, if any, on its business as a whole. Year 2000 disclosure issues The Company has considered the guidance of the Statement of the Commission regarding disclosure of Year 2000 issues for public companies (Release No. 33-7558) effective date August 4, 1998. Full disclosure of Year 2000 issues was made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 1998. 22 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
